AI Summary:
Herbert Kickl’s party won Austria’s parliamentary election in September. But in October, President Alexander Van der Bellen tasked Nehammer with trying to form a new government. Negotiations between the two aren’t guaranteed to succeed, but there are no other realistic coalition options. Freedom Party has called for the “remigration of uninvited foreigners” for achieving a more “homogeneous” nation by tightly controlling borders and suspending the right to asylum via an emergency law. Kickl has criticized “elites” in Brussels and called for some powers to be brought back from the European Union to Austria.
